Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Commerce

About

Through this double degree program, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and tools to navigate the evolving legal and global business environment.

The Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Commerce program will teach you about the impacts of technology on legal practice and global commerce. You'll learn how to develop practical strategies for real-world business and legal situations, while keeping cultural and diversity frameworks in mind to foster inclusivity.

To prepare you for the evolving nature of organisations, you’ll learn how to think critically to solve legal problems, address emerging challenges and cultivate leadership skills to drive organisational change.

You will gain a detailed and comprehensive understanding of the Australian legal system and fundamental legal principles, as well as comparative and international legal systems. You will learn about the ethical framework in which the Australian legal system operates, and gain fundamental knowledge of the extra legal factors that can affect the law.

Shaped by RMIT's strong industry connections, you will develop the skills you need to be successful in the career pathway of your choice. Once you graduate, you will have access to traditional legal careers requiring admission to practice.
